The McPherson Sentinel: "Boat names can reveal much about the personality of a boat owner. They also can serve as signposts of the modern era.

With the release of the annual top ten list of most popular boat names by the Boat Owners Association of The United States (BoatU.S.), one newcomer to the list stands out. “Bail Out, the No. 5 pick, clearly speaks volumes about what’s on boaters’ minds,” said BoatU.S. President Nancy Michelman.

“With today’s economic uncertainty, naming a boat Bail Out could indicate that boating is a survival mechanism for the family that will keep them afloat,” she said.

The list is assembled each year by the BoatU.S. Boat Graphics service, which offers a library of more than 8,500 boat names and also allows boaters to select, design and preview boat names online.
